It is located at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg. The only place to find the most comprehensive historical documents of the Hudson's Bay Company, the oldest incorporated joint-stock merchandising company in the English-speaking world, is at the Archives of Manitoba. * * In 2012, the Planetarium installed Canada's most advanced projection system and the second of its kind in the world. Called the Digistar 5, this multi-projection system delivers a nearly 3D experience. The Royal Canadian Mint not only produces currency for Canada, but has minted more than 55 billion coins for more than 75 countries around the world. In honour of Canada's 150th, the Mint invited Canadians to submit and vote on designs for commemorative coins that will circulate exclusively for 2017.
